My Blog

I use to think everyone was like me  With older age comes wisdom, because now I realize there are people who can go to bed and fall asleep without a million different thoughts imploding within them, and there are people who have to write about everything so they can clear the slate.  I am the latter.  I have notebooks of all sizes within reach of my bed, my desk, and in my purse. My laptop is close, too.  Sometimes I feel I will burst if I don't get it out of me and into some sort of data.  Managing a blog, at least for me, is a little like trying on shoes:  I like the first one, but I have to mull it over and give it some thought, check out some other things and then finally decide.  Well, I don't have many followers yet-just one loyal daughter!  But if you have looked at my blog at all, you will know that I am on my third title, third description and third background.  My first was of a "Remembering" theme; I wrote it the week of 9/11. Then I changed it to "Fresh Picked" and it was going to be fresh thoughts.  However, last night as I was in bed not sleeping, the lyrics of a favorite song came to me.  I realized those lyrics were EXACTLY what I wanted to use to describe my blog, so without permission from The Verve, I borrowed some of their lyrics.  I cannot tell you what a relief it was to my soul to pen the perfect title. I tweaked some of the graphics and may not be finished with it yet, I don't know.  For now, I am happy to introduce you to Bittersweet Symphony, because, at least for me, that is what life is. Thank you to The Verve for so eloquently expressing it for mere mortals like me.  Stay tuned!
